“Kelsey is the best! This was my first time using Rover and leaving my cats for a weekend and Kelsey made it so easy. She communicated with me, sent pictures, and always showed up on time. I will absolutely be re-booking for my next trip:)”
“Sophia was a great choice for our cats and fish and I’d highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs! 😊 She was super responsive and experienced with all sorts of animals, and kept us updated on our menagerie the whole trip. We would definitely book with her again.”
“Zania is truly the most professional and attentive dog sitter that I have ever hired. She took excellent care of Rex and even provided me with some helpful insights. I e joyed my time away knowing Rex would be lovingly cared for. I highly recommend Zania and plan to hire her again!”
About: Hi! I grew up on a farm and have taken care of a variety of animals since I was small. In addition to cat and dog sitting, I have taken care of other people's horses, cows, and hogs. I love taking long walks and would love to care for your four legged friends! Right now, overnight house and pet sitting is the best fit. I'm a theatre artist and have some shows lined up for the fall. I would also be able to do mid-day walks. Unfortunately, because I share with several room-mates, I would have to care for your pet in your home. However, I am responsible and detail oriented, and would take good care of your space while I'm there.
About: Hi! I’m a college student working toward my goal of becoming a veterinarian, and caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life. I have 2.5 years of professional experience working at a doggy daycare and boarding facility, where I’ve cared for dogs of all different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. Through my daycare and boarding experience, I’ve gained lots of hands-on experience caring for dogs throughout the day and during overnight stays. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, supervising dogs, recognizing different behaviors, and making sure each dog is safe, comfortable, and getting the attention they need. Outside of work, I’ve also been dog sitting for friends and family for several years. I know how important it is to feel confident about who is caring for your pets while you’re away, so I always treat every dog as if they were my own. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and make sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, playtime, and cuddles! I’d love the opportunity to get to know your pets and make sure they’re happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away! As a college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me plenty of time to dedicate to pet care throughout the week. I’m available around my class schedule for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting, including weekdays and weekends. I’m also happy to work with each owner to maintain their pet’s normal routine and make sure they get the time, attention, and care they’re used to. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. My experience working in doggy daycare and boarding has taught me how to safely handle dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’ll follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide. I’ll also make sure they get plenty of attention and affection while you’re away, while respecting their individual boundaries and comfort level.
About: I’ve had a family dog since I was 4 and have loved each greatly. I’m great with all, no matter how big or small. I will make sure they’re treated like the family they are. I have experience giving medications if needed as well as keeping to routines. I’m currently self employed, so there’s plenty of time and energy to spare on doggos and kitties! I currently work from home and can take my work on the go if need be. I’m in an area that’s very walkable and I walk daily. I don’t have pets of my own so any time I get with them, whether friend’s or family’s, is a delight. I follow care specifications of clients to a T. I try to make sure the animals are taken care of as if their own parents were still there. Making sure they’re walked, fed, played with, given potty opportunities, or simply left alone if that’s what they prefer. I care for every pet as if it were my own.
About: From Mastiffs to Shih Tzus, I have befriended and taken care of all kinds and sizes of dogs. My own Australian Shepherd lived to be 15 and loved hiking, swimming and so much fetch. I know how to take care of young pups, high energy and high maintenance dogs, as well as the old ones who deserve all of our compassion. I'm currently working flexible hours, so I have the ability and energy to step out to take your dog for a walk. I can do scheduled walks or on-call visits. I have house- and dog-sat for my whole life, so I can accommodate your pets' specific needs. I pay close attention to their personalities and learn to communicate with each dog.
“Alexis took wonderful care of my 2 cats (one needing 3 different medications per day). Kept my mind as ease while away with the family. Will definitely be booking her again for our next vacation. Recommend her to anyone, especially if pet needs specific meds while away.”
About: As a teacher and lifelong pet owner, I understand how important it is to trust somebody with the animals you love. I provide dependable, loving care and will treat your pets like they’re part of my own family. Whether it’s walks playtime or cuddles, I’ll make sure your pets feel safe happy and loved while you’re away As a teacher, I have the flexibility after school, evenings, weekends, holidays, and summers, available for pet care. Caring for animals is already part of my daily life, and my husband works from home, so there is usually someone here to provide extra attention, companionship, and care. I provide a safe, loving family star environment, where pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. We have a large backyard and live beside a beautiful walking trail and common area for walks and playtime. My husband works from home, so pets often have extra companionship and supervision throughout the day.
“Winter thoroughly enjoyed her time with Emily. She probably jumped up and gave her 1 million hugs.😳 I was comforted in knowing that she was in good hands while I was far away. Emily was prompt followed my many instructions and we will be glad to have her back.”
“Ash was the best of the best of the best hands down thumbs up. She showed my cats all the love she possibly could even though they were snobby about. Took great care to respect our home and wishes and checked in and conversed with me regularly. I felt fantastic about having her check in and care for our cats. Thank you so much Ash”
About: I am very passionate about everything I do, so I can assure you that your pet will be taken care of with tons of attention and love. I’m currently working part time at nights, so I will have lots of time during the day and after school to care for and play with pets. I have had a lot of experience with different breeds of dogs, so I am qualified to meet your pets needs no matter what shape or size!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
